Casarva BMW K1300R IRS trike with PFM Levers & Kliktronic.
Custom built trike for it’s owner. The Casarva BMW K1300R IRS trike shaft drive conversion is bolted to the bike frame. The customer required twin levers on the right hand side to operate both the clutch and front brake. As a result we fitted PFM twin brake levers which have the levers on a single plane. Another requirement was a Kliktronic gear shifter with buttons also on the right hand. So an uprated Kliktronic unit to deal with the BMW quick shifter fitted to the trike.
For their Casarva BMW K1300R IRS trike our customer wanted to keep his panniers and the trick exhaust can. So the exhaust was custom routed in stainless steel centrally with a trick Schnitzer silencer. As a result the donor bike’s panniers were kept, above the IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) wishbones.
What is Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) on a trike?
Casarva IRS (independent Rear Suspension) trikes handle better and are more comfortable to ride than those with a solid axles. Tyres stay planted in the road surface giving you maximum control if the road gets a little tricky. How? Because each side has its own suspension system which are connected by an anti-roll bar (ARB) made in spring steel. The ARB assists the shock absorbers in keeping the rear end planted, reduces rider shock.
The drive line – chain, belt or shaft – has a differential which allows the wheels to turn independently of each. Half shafts are tailor made to each trike. There’s track width options too. With all these options and more each trike is custom built to meet the owners needs.
